Are there any other conlanging examples of this sort of thing? I know it's
quite common in the celtic languages.
In one of my languages, West Nindic (Isn't that just a terrible name?) I have
this feature .... tho, it is admittedly a Sindarin/Welsh inspired Elvish
language ... but what can you do?
As an example:
ê da dhen o moniel nian no da rosnêr
"The man hears/listens to the music of the river"
vocabulary:
ê "is"
da "the"
dhen "man" (lenited form of den)
o "at"
moniel "hearing" (verbal noun of mon-)
nian "song"
no "of" (originally "towards" < Nindic nodd)
rosnêr "river" (lenited form of rhosnêr)
(this originally meant "running water" < Nindic rhotha-neri)
